Taking On Interior Design With Kirill Korotkov Petrovich

Everybody hopes to make money from their degree. Few can meld it with 3D modelling like Kirill Korotkov Petrovich. He's showing off his architectural skills with his models meant for interior decoration. He has agreed to share some of his secrets with us (and with you)!

Can you tell us a little about yourself?

I graduated from the faculty of architecture 10 years ago. Now I'm a freelancer in the field of interior design.

How did you break into the industry? What helped you get your first job/sale?

First of all there was a small flat I had to model. I got this project when I was a student and I had to do both models and renders for it by myself.

What do you think are the most important skills for a designer to have?

I think it's necessary to organize workspace comfortably to achieve the most effective workflow, whether you‘re communicating with the customer or modeling.

What kind of research do you do before you start a project? Do you go with the flow or have a very good idea how everything goes?

Everything begins with the collection of references: the more, the merrier. Sometimes I visualize the whole interior at once; other times I need to brainstorm a bit.
